First Computer
The first programable computer was the Z3.
Created in 1941 by Konrad Zuse a German engineer. The Z3 had a 22-but word length. Sadly it was destroyed in a bombing raid on Berlin in 1943.
First "Bug"
The first "Bug" in a computer was an actual bug, a moth. On September 9, 1947 Harvard University Computer Science and engineers reported finding a literal bug in their system. Today a "bug" is known as an issue with the system.
Python
Developed in the early 1990s by Guido van Rossum, Python originated as a solution for executing repetitive tasks in computer system administration. Van Rossum, dissatisfied with the languages available at the time, which were geared towards large, high-speed programs, designed Python to easily handle smaller, less speed-critical tasks. This allowed for quick writing and updating of programs. Since its inception, Python has undergone significant evolution and is now at version 3. Van Rossum, the principal author, continues to lead its development with the help of many volunteers. Python's popularity spans business, scientific, and academic applications, appealing especially to beginners due to its simple syntax compared to languages like Java, C, and C++. Its interactivity facilitates experimentation, and its portability means Python programs can run unchanged across various systems including Windows, UNIX, Linux, and Macintosh.
